Subject: mhttpd / odb set strings -> truncates odb entry 
There is a bug in the string handling when changing ODB string entries via the
mhttpd (git sha 07dfb83). It truncates the string length in the ODB.

For instance I create a string with length 32 and set it with odbedit to 'a'.
Then the string length stays 32, as expected. If the same is done through the
web-interface, the string length will be truncated to 2.

This can lead to problems if some frontend has a hotlink to a structure
containing this string since it will complain about structure size mismatch.
